To give a direct answer to your question The dark glasses with a metalic
coating used by aviators are made to block all, but visible light. They are
quite effictive to a point. At high power levels even 6in steel can be X-RAY
ed, so nothing is transparrent and a total shield for all forms of
rariation.
